Busy, busy

I'm sure we're all the same - forever trying to get everything done and never quite succeeding.

Just this morning this is what I had to do:
  • 6:30 - practise piano
  • 7:00 - have breakfast, supervise kids' breakfast, skype friend in Turkey
  • 8:00 - supervise Emma's reading and piano practice, write on sympathy card, fill in form for new licence, answer some emails
  • 9:00 - take Emma to school, talk to teacher about problem
  • 9:30 - get new licence
  • 10:00 - go to chemist to have scripts made up
  • 10:30 - pick up new glasses - I had the right time but wrong week!
  • 10:35 - break for coffee and cake
  • 10:40 - go to Aldi and other shops, chat to friend in Westfield  (always run into somebody)
  • 11:30 - make appt with vet to look at Muffy's ears
  • 12:00 - home for lunch, collapse in heap while reading paper on iPad, crossword
This afternoon I have to:
  • 2:00 - catch up on months of Japanese
  • 3:00 - pick Emma up from school
  • 4:00 - take Muffy, Emma and Hugo to vet (that's if I can find Muffy)
  • 4:30 - take kids to park
  • 5:30 - hand kids over to daddy
  • 6:15 - pilates
  • 7:30 - prepare dinner (or eat a bowl of muesli if too tired)
  • 8:00 - probably fall into bed exhausted and listen to BBC radio 4
Winifred and Olga - It was fun with my 24-yr-old, who is so interesting.  We spent a couple of hours together, first in a bookshop/cafe then at the swimming centre.  He just needs grandmotherly contact, which I understand perfectly.  I was quite flattered to have been chosen!  His parents are only in their 40s, so I'm probably the oldest person he's ever known!!

Exhausted ! I personally like 10.35am best of all.

How lovely to have a friend of a different generation, now that my grandson is almost 18 he often speaks to me as if I am the younger one, especially if I cannot understand what he's doing at work. Sadly I can hear my own voice of years ago explaining something to him and using the same expressions xx
